One-Shot AF for Still Subjects

Superimposed display

Focus confirmation light

Press the shutter button down halfway to activate AF operation and focus once.

The AF point achieving focus will flash in red and the beeper will sound. The focus confirmation light <> at the lower right will also light.

When using evaluative metering, the exposure setting is determined when focus is achieved. The exposure setting and focus remain locked as long as the shutter button is pressed down halfway. You can then recompose the shot while retaining the exposure setting and focus (58).

If the camera cannot focus, the focus confirmation light () in the viewfinder blinks. If this happens, you will not be able to take a picture even if you press the shutter button down fully. Instead, reframe the shot and focus again. See also, “Manual Focus”( 59).

You can disable the AF point’s red flashing (superimposed display). (C.Fn-14-1126)
